You'll probably have more success on the vauxhall forum in the astra section.

A smear of copper grease on the bolts will make them easier to remove next time. Steel into alluminium alloy can be a nightmare. Be very careful when applying any lubricants near brakes. Less is more.

Coca cola works because of the phosphoric acid. Cillit bang contains a lot more than cola. The iron oxide is converted to iron phosphate which is black and forms a seal to prevent further reaction in that spot. I'm not sure if it will work on a Chinese bike because they are built from used chewing gum and bogeys.

Sorry , I must have missed that one. Life has a way of getting in the way of living.

I'm nearly famous lol ">

Hello everybody peeps. Sorry I've not been on for a while. I'm too tight to buy you all a christmas card....so I did this for you.http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z28/Colin_the_bear/Smiley%20christmas/dream.gif http://soundcloud.com/colin-the-bear/the-christmas-song http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z28/Colin_the_bear/Smiley%20christmas/hollybell.jpg

A little contamination of your fuel with WD40 or similar won't do any harm. I'm not sure that a drop of cillit bang in the tank would be a good idea.

Truth be told you can't live on benefits so any one who has been on them long term is fiddling and has another source of income, Legal or otherwise.

How often do we find that the ones with the strongest opinions have the weakest spelling and grammar?

My Father was one of nine survivors and my mother one of ten. It was quite common earlier in the 20thcentury. Families were large and encouraged to be large to repopulate after the two wars. Being a mother used to be seen as a noble occupation. £200 a month is what? £7 a day. Packet of fags and a beer. No family pets on benefits? Don't let the posh bast*rds with all the money make you believe that we the poor are to blame for everything. Divide and conquer.

Leather. It has to be leather.

Just a smear mind, we don't want any lumps of rubber in the sump

Which socks were you wearing? Plates sticking?
